A thread for little questions

Church Pogrom are nasty indeed.
Rocky's spew fire at you and soak up alot of damage.
Fartbags can potencially one-shot your soldiers without proper chem-protection.
Humanoids have either lasers, flamers or caws (AP) for damage. They all carry hellerium grenades!
Due to the fartbags 20 sense the Church Revenant (green robe dude) can pick on your soldiers using voodoo.
Some flying chicks but overall a jack of all trades pogrom.

Factionwise it's the 3rd toughest pogrom in my opinion.
1. is tied for Mercs and Stargods.

Pogrom power ratting:

1.) Proper stargods (with guardians and sectopods)
2.) Mercs, Stargod freakshow
3.) Church
4.) Guild, Raiders
5.) Bandits, Academy, Spartans
6.) Humanists, Dark Ones
7.) KKK + cops

Academy is bit on the weak side as far a global factions go. Humanists could bring along those power armours with railguns sometimes

I am not so sure. Sometimes cyberdiscs can become problematic.

Yes, but their support is... let’s be generous and call the osiron security guys mediocre.

Academy is weak overall, but i view it as a needed evil. The academy is geared to resist lasers and other exotics, just like mercs are meant to keep ballistic in check. The idea is that no one weapon load is always ideal. Would that the academy unit mix was more threatening, but hey for something that's day one till the end of the game they don't do too bad.

[Solarius Scorch]

Academy is currently getting some expansion, so don't get cocky.

[legionof1]

yay upgrades to meaningful foes.

Are we finally gonna get those hybrids that the Challenge of Dr. X is hinting at?

[Martin]

Probably not. Get ready from power armoured Osiron.

[Ethereal_Medic]

More powerarmor parts!

[Solarius Scorch]

Well, I never said there would be power armoured Osiron... Because I am not aware of such plans.
I only know about some new Academy units, and frankly I don't know if they will be any stronger than the older ones. Probably not, just different.

[Martin]

Elite osiron assasins in holosuits?

Like catgirls, but tougher and better armed.

How is Academy Hierachy gotten in 0.99I?
It got a cost and requires an item, so no autounlock when the dependencies have been filled. The item isn't dropped/buyable, nothing gives the tech for free, and there's no lookup either.

[BBHood217]

It's currently bugged, I don't think Academy Hierarchy is supposed to be a physical item.  You'll just have to edit the .rul file and change its "needitem" text to false.

That's what I thought, but I felt it better to ask lest I missed something obvious. Thanks for the confirmation. ^^
